It Kinda IS About the Gear

You invest your time and energy into training for triathlon. But no investment can match the money you have to put into your bike- and bike shoes, jersey, pump, etc.

If you are new to triathlon, the single biggest favor you can do yourself is to buy a used bike. I'm sure many people are reading this right now and saying "What! The best thing to do is to go to a bike store and get help making the decision about what kind of bike to buy, what bike fits best, and getting the assurance of a guarantee from a local bike store." All great things to consider- but if you're just starting out in triathlon, a friend who knows something about biking, plus perhaps a little studying up on your part, should be fine to get you started.

Not to mention saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in bike (and bike equipment purchases). Besides- what if you decide triathlon isn't your cup of tea? (Perish the thought!)

So, if you have some cash to burn, or you're of the mindset "when I buy, I buy the best!" then by all means, seek out a knowledgeable salesperson at a local bike store, and buy with absolute confidence. Otherwise, buy used. You can always sell your used steed and upgrade next season, when you've got some biking miles in your legs- and some race experience.
